Up until the current MARDUKITE efforts and work of Joshua Free, few of the publicly visible “New Age” writers and occult spokes-people really had much to say concerning the SIMON NECRONOMICON – many of them wishing it would just go away, or at the very least, that people would stop bothering them about it.

Needless to say, in the post-Lovecraftian world it was, up until the MARDUKITE efforts, the only of the ‘possible versions’ available to the public that was of ‘true’ and ‘authentic’ merit in regards to a historical tradition. Many people criticized the SIMON NECRONOMICON for not being Lovecraftian enough – which was interesting, since the same people also said that the book had been invented by Lovecraft.

NEW FIFTH ANNIVERSARY 2ND EDITION OF LIBER-555!

“The debate over the title of the work has never been satisfactorily resolved by or to anyone. The use of the term
by Lovecraft already comes from questionable sources (presumably his own dreams) – and why it should appear on an allegedly 7th-8th century manuscript is also unsettling, even assuming such to even be true. We have no real reason to believe that the Simon work should have held such a title, nor is the book ever referred to as such in its corpus. Therefore, the title itself may have been fabricated.” — explains Joshua Free in “Crossing to the Abyss: Unveiling the Secrets of Simon’s Necronomicon“br />

“It may be the manifestation of a tangible book – wholly obscure for its time – with the title across the front: Necronomicon – is what really launched the success of the book (contents aside). For many, the chances to own and possess such a legendary work was a dream come true. But as with many dreams and wishes, the dreamer does not always know what is for their own higher good. As soon as the Necronomicon was celebrated or coming into being, it was just as quickly renounced for its existence – and not simply by the right-wing and others you would normally expect, but by the same pulp-fiction fans who rejoiced in its arrival!”~ Liber-R, Necronomicon Revelations.

This current discourse (Liber 555) is an expert commentary on the Simon Necronomicon as it appears – meaning a bastardized tradition emerging from the catacombs of ancient “Mardukite” Babylon. What we do not see evident, as we should expect (and clearly what threw many people off the track) is the lack of Lovecraftian themes in the Simon Necronomicon. Any mention or similarity within the text of the Simon work as compared to the ‘stories’ of H.P. Lovecraft is most likely the ‘creation’ of the modern editors in order to market their Mesopotamian Magic as the Necronomicon.

“For the moment, the current truth seeker will simply have to take the work at face-value. We can concur that the semantic title – Necronomicon – may very well be the creation of an early 20th century writer and that no such book, as he describes it, may exist verbatim. Assuming this, we might be quick to disregard any and all resources that bare this title – something which our own critics are often likely to do – but this is again, folly – and the human spirit should not be so easily ‘led about’ in their understanding based on the ‘languages’ and ‘title semantics’ adopted.”

In these types of post-Christian era accounts, such as we see with the Medieval and Dark Age era grimoires of the period, the magick and traditions are reflective to a ‘polarity’ that does not actually exist. For example, the entire idea behind ‘devil worship’ and ‘satanism’ is entirely dependent on the existence of these beings as they are generally understood – something which only came about as a result of the Judeo-Christian level of consciousness that came to occupy the masses. Prior to this ‘introduction’ of the ‘devil’ by Christian standards it would have been completely impossible to have proper ‘devil worship’ or satanism. The entire mythology that people are most likely to know regarding these matters is Hebrew and Christian in origin, making suggestion toward an understanding of the world based on a moral or ethical dualism that is not at all present in the traditions and writings of the more antiquated ancient world.

Unveil the secrets of Simon’s Necronomicon by expert occultist Joshua Free in the new Fifth Anniversary 2nd Edition of Liber-555: CROSSING TO THE ABYSS

“The dragon legacy extends throughout time and space without inhibition. For whatever it has later come to encompass and represent to both the common folk and the initiated, it has an origin – one that can be found in Mesopotamia.”–Joshua Free in DRACONOMICON

DRACONOMICON — The History, Magick and Traditions of Dragons, Druids and the Pheryllt by Joshua Free — celebrates its 20TH ANNIVERSARY!!

Extending our mind to the most discrete past, based on what knowledge is currently available, we are immediately confronted with a world of primordial and primeval monsters that are almost beyond the comprehension of modern humans who have had no direct overt encounters in their recent genetic memory concerning such “monstrous” creations on the planet – or in the greater universe.

The beauty of using the MESOPOTAMIAN archetype as a “Source-tradition” or “baseline” is that it is not only historically logical to do so, given its place in history, but the material it offers – as has been so thoroughly analyzed in the works of Joshua Free – is “complete.”

Not only does it allude to “monstrous creations” in the cosmos that precede the existence of humanity, it provides evidence for the possibility (or fact) of genetic engineering and “third-party manipulation” taking place not only on earth, but in other “worlds” as well. To uneducated (uninitiated) minds, such concepts are seemingly unfathomable!

MARDUK with the Dragon of Babylon, SIRRUS

Referring to the most paramount of the post-Sumerian (Babylonian) accounts of the Epic of Creation, scholars most notably refer to the ENUMA ELIS – a series of seven (six plus one) cuneiform tablets that were forged by the “Nabu Priesthood” in Babylon as a means of elevating the status of MARDUK, an Anunnaki Prince-Son of ENKI (the brother of ENLIL). A considerable amount of background information for this paradigm can be gleaned from the “Mardukite” work by Joshua Free – but the main tenets are clear by any approach.

When in the heights the Heavens
Had not been named,
And the Earth had not yet been named,
And the Primeval APSU, who birthed them,
And CHAOS, TI.AM.TU,
The Ancient One – Mother to them ALL.

We are given here, a description of the formation (or formulation) of the universe as a material matrix-structure. From out of nothingness came the Abyss – and from the Abyss was spawned (fragmented) the first of the material creatures, TIAMAT, the primeval dragon and “Mother” to ALL.

Later, from the same tablet, we are given a description of her ability to further “spawn” (fragment) material existence into the “monstrous” and “horrific” creations that now seem to only imaginatively plague men in their nightmares.

TI.AM.TU spawned monster-serpents,
Sharp of tooth and merciless of fang;
With poison, instead of blood,
She filled their bodies.
Fierce monster-vipers she clothed with terror.
She set up vipers and dragons,
And the monster LAHAMU…
After this fashion
She made eleven kinds of monsters.

DRACONOMICON — The ultimate “Book of the Dragon” for magick-users and fantasy enthusiasts alike. This completely revised and expanded edition of the underground cult classic “Draconomicon” offers powerful teachings and lore of ‘dragon magick’ and its legacy. Discovering the wisdom & power of the dragon has never been easier. Come and initiate yourself to the Great Mysteries and venture on a journey beginning in the primordial depths of the primeval abyss of the “Great Universal Dragon” and following through millennium of ageless mysteries into the present age… and the future!

“Most classifications of the ‘Otherworld’ include both an ‘overworld’ and ‘underworld’ that exists ‘outside’ or ‘beyond’ the confined parameters or ‘perceived reality’ capable to humans. It is for this reason only that it is considered ‘other’…“—Joshua Free in NECRONOMICON GRIMOIRE (anthology)

The OTHER is not separate ‘matter’ in the sense of what most people envision as dimensions or “physical” layers. The veils as we perceive them simply represent filters that keep us from experiencing the All-as-One for the benefit of an individualized existence.

These “fragmented” veils do, however, have some ‘attributes‘ whereby they were acknowledged or defined in awareness as being separate in the first place. In the original division of ‘control’ or ‘authority’ in the universe was between four distinct parts:

The only materially visible realm in this list (for the sake of ‘human perception’) is the Depths which humans interact with as the ‘physical’, condensed, reality around them.

Notice that the Depths are also home to the “Underworld”, which is also divided in a visible and invisible dualism: the “underground” that is physical beneath the ‘surface’ world and the “Underworld” proper, which connects the ‘Other’ with the ABYSS…

One commonly overlooked facet is that the ‘all-encompassing’ All-as-One entangled and interconnected aspect of the universe can be found within and as all existences and perceptions of existence. This means that the ‘Other’ is directly connected (by some realization) to all ‘perceived levels’ and all ‘sentient intelligence’ in the universe; whether it be in the Heights or Depths or in the between – it is there.

On the initial pathworking via the LADDER OF LIGHTS, the self-honest initiate is exposed to a battery of ‘tests’ or ‘rays’ involving energetic currents…

These currents are likewise akin to specific color ‘frequencies‘, celestial bodies (planets) and notes of music (among others) that esoteric priests and magicians have worked to ‘correspond’ to them after adopting the original archetypal (ancient religious) magic systems from Mesopotamia – and specifically ERIDU (by way of ENKI, MARDUK and finally NABU).

Emotional stimulus of the ‘Underworld Initiation’ is very similar – though the ‘lights‘ and ‘colors‘ are all but washed out completely and the Observer is left with bleak and abysmal visions if they are unprepared. “Fear” neural-chemicals will distort the reception of these experiences – a typical concern for all non-adepts who venture into these advanced efforts.

“Those of us who are drawn to the quest are those of us who are propelled by ‘personal demons’, and they must be met or materialized. For, after the ‘personal demons’ have been mastered, other ‘demons’ await – The Gods of the Other Side, the Ancient Ones.”– Simon

NECRONOMICON GRIMOIREA Magical Workbook of the Sumerian Anunnaki in Mesopotamian Religion and the Babylonian Magical Tradition
an anthology edited by Joshua Free
A master compilation of mystical exploration into the heart of the ancient Mesopotamian Mysteries, this complete practical companion to the Mardukite “Necronomicon Anunnaki Cycle” illuminates the revolutionary teachings and source materials of the Modern Sumerian-Babylonian-Anunnaki Tradition of the Mardukite Chamberlains (Ordo Nabu Maerdechai), edited by Joshua Free, the presiding Nabu of the organization since its inception.

“It is when we have made the leap across the Abyss – and only then–that we know that we are Not… At that moment we realize that we are Void. This is the ‘negative way’… To know that we are Not in order to understand in what manner we can be.”– Kenneth Grant from Nightside of Eden

–In all traditions the matters of ‘light’ and ‘life’ are dealt with at length, but the darkness, the shadows and the Abyss are generally feared and pursuit of the true knowledge of their natures is more often than not discouraged by the ‘realm’ or society, its social and religious leaders and even our own ‘family’ who feel that such things are “better left untouched”. Such ‘separation’ keeps the darkness growing stronger in its ability to enshroud humans in fear and keep them feeling ‘separate’ in themselves.

Modern esoteric kabbalists and initiates of sacred orders, such as Kenneth Grant (who for a time led the OTO — Ordo Templi Orientis – in the wake of Aleister Crowley), commonly refer to this advanced facet of mystical pursuit as the ‘other side of the tree’ or ‘nightside’, returning our attention again to the time in our realm where such ‘separations’ or veils seem thinner or altogether nonexistent; at night or when the stars are visible.

Practitioners and modern magicians generally agree that the kabbalistic sphere of the “Tree of Life” that links to the “Tree of Darkness” (or Kingdom of Shadows) is the ‘eleventh’ and unseen Sephiroth of the Kabbalah known as Daath. This secondary or ‘nightside’ of the tree is the Underworld or ‘Other’ that leads to the Abyss. It is believed by Kenneth Grant and others that the Anunnaki region and the Egyptian DU.AT or TU.AT are essentially identical for all purposes.

In the Babili Texts (Tablet-B Series) from the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE, the seeker can clearly see that the gate-systems of both ‘above’ and ‘below’, from both Babylonian and Egyptian perspective, are centered on seven. This means seven gates of ‘light’ for ascension into the ‘Other’ that composes the heavens (e.g. the Tower of Babel) and there are Seven Gates of ‘darkness’ for descent into the ‘Underworld’.

Traditional lore surrounding the ‘Descent of Inanna-Ishtar’ (as given in the Tablet-C series of the NECRONOMICON ANUNNAKI BIBLE) also gives a description of ‘seven gates’ below and the guardians or keepers of those ‘portals’.

Names and passwords for these veils are given in both Mesopotamian and Egyptian forms (languages), but are essentially the same in context. The names and passwords for the Gates of Light:

The path of the Mystery Tradition has, up until now, led the seeker along a vast array of “lights” and “images” – up the rungs of a Ladder of Lights as it were – tracing the phantasmal images of the material world back to their Source.

But it is not the glamorous procurement of further persona and personality upgrades that the seeker is after, rather it is the absolution or annihilation of the same; those which you have already acquired and are but weights to keep you bound by the distractions of (and energetic slavery to) the material world of light and forms.

So the seeker passes through the Seven Gates of Life seeking to bring parts of the whole together – if they be so lucky. Too often it is the case that the initiate separates the whole into additional esoteric parts that merely ends with life further separated – the initiate completes the journey further from the Source. Therefore, the emphasis should not be on the bedazzlement attainable to the psyche of this world to delight in making some simply gematric or symbolic link – when all is actually connected in equality and oneness – not just to be found in a few “sacred” correspondences: the semantic relationships between observable attributes and invisible forces.

Wholeness. This is never fully realized in the World of Light that we become accustomed to because it exists already in a state of separation from the World of Darkness. Polarity. The point being made is not necessarily the glorification of the Darkness either. There are many people who succumb to the trappings of the Darkness, just as they do the Light. This can happen easily when both are existing in a duality that is contrary to the Oneness that is the Source. Duality is not Oneness – and no system observing such can ever offer complete unification in its knowledge.

So, what does one do? You can climb the Ladder of Lights and thereby unify the manifold natures of the existences found in the Light – but is this the end? Working back up the Tree of Life, the seeker has uncovered a very dangerous glitch in the system… This is not all there is. But where is it? And how is it that we can confront this hidden aspect for wholeness.

After having moved forth through the Gates of this Universe, the seeker inevitably moves passed the final doorway and is able to glean a look behind the curtain… and there is nothing more horrifying than what one will find. All we have done and worked towards, all we have quested for in our endeavors into the Light and into the System and when the curtain is peeled back it is only to reveal – Nothingness… the Primordial Abyss.

All of the systems in the mind that have given form their meaning has washed away and the realization of the illusion is paralyzing. For when we had our “Wizard of Oz” to toy with in our minds, we could at the very least laugh in our own folly at being fooled in the game of some supernatural crazed madman behind the curtains. At the very least things could be made to make sense – systematically.

But, now at the cusp of reality and sanity, we know better. Before you is the Other Side of the Tree… Crossing the Abyss… Into the Beyond…
